SETUP – WITH DMC1000 for harddisk share
Connect a USB hard disk to the USB2-connection of the DMC1000.
Make sure that the USB-link on the DMC1000 is set to "LINK".
Use the USB-cable, supplied with DMC1000, to connect the USB-link connection of the player to the
USB2-connection (3) of the DMC2000.
Use the SOURCE SELECT button (14) to select USB2 on the DMC2000: both the DMC1000 and
DMC2000 players will connect to hard disk.
You can now play MP3 and WAV files from the connected hard disk.
IMPORTANT: for good, stable performance only use a good quality USB-cable with a maximum
length of 1meter!
SETUP – COMPLETE SETUP, INCLUDING MIDI CONTROLLER
The drawing shows a complete setup, including the MIDI-controller function.
You can connect up to 2 external audio sources (turntable or line) to turn your DMC2000 into a
multifunctional DJ-unit. All you have to do is switch the inputs on top of the 2 mixer channels!
If you only want to use the MIDI controller function, you just have to connect the computer with DJ-
software via the supplied USB-cable to the USB-MIDI output (4) on the DMC2000: the controller will be
recognized and the drivers will be automatically installed.
Put both mixer channel inputs (46) in MIDI-mode: most controls on the DMC2000 will send out MIDI.
For specific MIDI-settings please refer to the chapter "SETUP MENU".
Depending on the DJ-sofware you're using, you will have to load the desired MIDI-mappings. On some
DJ-software the DMC2000 mapping will be loaded automatically, on other DJ-software you will have to
download the MIDI mapping from our site or from the download section of the DJ-software. If the
DMC2000 is not supported by the DJ-software you can make your own MIDI-mapping but this entirely
depends on the software you're using. Please note that the installation and the use of different DJ-software
is very specific and therefore not supported by Synq!
The DMC2000 as internal sound cards: the music of your mix will come throught the master outputs (5+6).
MIDI function mixer: The setup of the DMC2000 is such that you can easily mix music from all inputs with
eachother. You can even mix music from the DJ-software with music coming from the internal players or a
connected turntable. To be able to do this you must switch the MIDI-function of the internal mixer off. (see
setup menu)
VINYL scratching option on DJ-software: with the DMC2000 you can even use the very powerful "vinyl
scratch function" available on some highend DJ-software. This means that you can scratch and manipulate

the audio tracks played on your DJ-software by using a special coded vinyl disc! Just connect a turntable
to one of the audio inputs: the signals from the special coded vinyl disc will be sent to the DJ-software.
Note1: first check if your DJ-software can use this feature. If yes, follow the instructions of the
software to setup this function.
Note2: a special vinyl scratch disc is optionally available from Synq, it uses a "time dephased 1kHz
stereo signal" which can be used on different DJ-software.
